Ok so while it will only cost me US$ 83.64 to fly to Barbados Departing a Friday and Returning a Monday..

While you're getting to travel free with a handbag or laptop, you have to pay for ANY baggage, price dependent on the size..

Check the extras...

Priority Boarding is US$10.00
Baggage -small to large is US$10 to US$25
Special Luggage like golf bags etc. is US$30
SMS Confirmation is US$1

So by the time you're done your ticket that started at US$84 could very well end up being US$214.64.

The prices still beat CAL, i'm especially impressed with the Jamaica airfare after taxes and luggage I got a quote of 1100TTD

HAH!
AND a Web Convenience fee of US $10

Well even after all that they still might be a bit cheaper than other airlines.

This however answers questions of "How they can offer US$9.99 flights and stay in business?"

[noshownogo]

nice marketing ploy to advertise at 9.99USD they still undercutting CAL and will surely make them second guess their pricing...let the price wars begin

Its a limited time offer.... their prices go up to 39.99 for barbados from Mid July or so... and it still works out to be less than LIAT & CAL.... savings of 100+ depending on how you travel...

I travel light so I am loving it!

CROP OVER!!!

This not a ploy, it is a hybrid of the model used by WestJet and Southwest. So if you doh have carry peppah sauce and seasoning fuh family den your costs will be lower. Even with one piece of lugguage to and from Barbados cheaper than the oneway CAL sent me of $90 one way.

[HondaHo de 1st]

just got booking confirmation for rally barbados, 3rd june to 6th june, US$94.64.00 (well not me, my cousin asked me to book for him)

People don't understand the luggage issue, I'm totally not backing the fact that I should have to pay for luggage to go anywhere, but you have to understand why Airlines are doing it.

Less luggage means less weight on the plane, less weight means burn less fuel.

Personally I could give American a good swift kick in the groin for bringing their free allowance down to 1 piece for international travel.

[pete]

I think it's more that if less people bring a bag they have more space in the bay to ship cargo.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ yup the cargo is where they make their money, which is why they can offer the seats so cheap - its a great budget airline business model!

[~*Pãñdorą*~]

That's also a possibility..

As well as less bags to load in the cargo bins, so this facilitates faster turn arounds and helps with delays so as to not incur charges from the airport.

[tr1ad]

well then dont carry luggage

buy yuh clothes over there

then again women need two suitcases for a 5 day trip

men just need a backpack

When did this happen? I just flew in Feb and my 2 pieces were free.

[wagonrunner]

[bushwakka]

no possibility, that IS their business model, think it's the same for other low cost carriers too like JetBlue

the cargo carried is the same as if they were to take luggage - so its not about turn around time either

it is not economical for the airline to fly an empty plane

[Rallyfignis]

Wouldn't doubt that inside the plane is level advertising.

Figured it was based on RyanAir model being Irish and all...
